Rotomac scam: CBI raid continues for more than 20 hours in Vikram Kothari's residence in Kanpur

New Delhi: Rotomac Pens owner Vikram Kothari seems to be in deep soup as Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) raid in his residence was underway for more than 20 hours. After the Nirav Modi-PNB scam, the banking sector took another big hit with Rotomac pen promoter Vikram Kothari allegedly swindling Rs 3,695 crore from banks, prompting central probe agencies to register cases, question him and carry out searches at his Kanpur premises on Monday.
